Alex's Words:

Between my OCD and my true passion for my car, and Subarus in general, I was in search for the best shop I could find, and then I found TopSpeed. Despite the 6 hour drive, I knew every mile brought me closer to the perfection TopSpeed would provide with their mechanical knowhow and tuning prowess.

I need to first thank TopSpeed publicly for ALL the help and support they have given me with this entire build. The build and car aside, the amount of customer service and true hospitality at TopSpeed, has been wonderful. Like I have mentioned, I brought my Mom along to spend some time with her and let her in on a bit more of my "car life". Well Cicio, like usual, made her feel just as home as he's always made me feel......taking us to rent a car, setting her up with internet and tv in the lounge area so I could galavant in the shop with everybody, brought us all dinner when it got late in the day, and I could go on and on.

To speak to the quality of the actual motor build, throughout the entire day of tuning the car didn't burn a spec of oil and never had any variating coolant temps.

I just wanted to share how happy I am with everything TopSpeed has been able to do for me with this car!!
